wow perfect example!

 

[Gas Man]

wow perfect example!

Yep he had plenty of oppurtunity to go away from the fallen rider....

 

[R1up0n1]

Ouch!

 

[Freak69]

That has got to hurt... But what did he do in the first place to come off? couldnt quite get that - sudden wobble as he came out of the corner, and down he went. What sort of thing causes that? XQ's my ignorance here..

 

[fastbaill2004]

Damn, hope he had good health insurance!!!!

 

[Gas Man]

Freak... he was sliding the rear I believe and it just hooked up... basically bucking him off!

 

[ShanMan14]

Was he watching it happen through the camera viewfinder or what? I can't figure out why he'd aim for the guy; obviously it was a mistake but... :yikes:

 

[Gas Man]

not sure...but its a great example of this problem in riding!

 

[Captain Morgan]

Yep, definitely target fixation. He should have just stayed on his line, but he freaked out and tried to straighten up, then kept watching the guy that was sliding.

JEBUS!!!!!!!! It was like watching a guided missile through a nose cam That really sucked. It's good to hear the downed rider wasn't hurt worse.

Helllllllooooooooo?!? It's the chase cam!!! :BAHA:

What sort of thing causes that?

Cold tires. Always take it easy the first lap or two while they warm up. :2cents:

He gave into a "survival reaction". When he felt his rear wheel sliding, you can see that he got off the throttle. By doing so, his wieght transfered forward & unballanced the bike & stopped the wheel from spinning. Had he left the throttle cracked or even gave it a bit more throttle he could have backed it out of the turn & continued on.

I was on that turn this past weekend, btw, ........incredible!!!
